Meds when Blood test due

I'm due a blood test for thyroid, I'm hypo and take levo and t3 (self medicating as gp not interested), I can't remember when I should stop taking meds before having blood drawn. I take my levo before bed and t3 in the morning. My test is early morning.

Any help greatly appreciated

Pinklady756,

Skip your bedtime Levothyroxine dose and take Levothyroxine and T3 after your blood draw.
